Chapter 0114
Cara’s POV
Somehow there were enough people present in the hospital on this night to witness this completely out of nowhere proposal.
The sound of applause and “Awww’s fills my ears
“How romantic!” someone shouts.
Is this really happening. Hapeening when my daughter’s life and humanity is possibly at stake…
And I barely even know this man!
“Mr. Bedford, please…” I say to him, keeping my voice in a hushed tone.
“If I have anything to do with it, you’ll be Mrs. Bedford before too long, my sweet!” Matthew Bedford says cheerfully.
More Awww’s echo through the halls around me.
“Mr. Bedford,” I say again, this time my voice is a bit more stern. I want to underscore that our relationship is not friendly, I would barely consider him an acquaintance.
“Mr. Bedford,” I repeat when he doesn’t move, “Please, get up.” I urge him, shooting glances around us.
I move a hand to Matthew Bedford’s elbow, further encouraging him to stand on his feet and move from that ridiculous proposal position.
Unfortunately, he misinterprets my movement and grabs my hand.
“My sweet, you are like a beautiful flower, so lovely and….” He plants a kiss on the back of my hand, and I feel the sticky wetness on my skin. “Delicious,” he finishes, winking at me.
I’m staring down at Matthew Bedford in shock, completely transfixed and filled with a mixture of confusion, embarrassment and, if I’m completely honest, disgust.
And that’s the exact moment I hear him.
“What is going on here?!”
A familiar voice.
I close my eyes and let out a deep breath.
The doctor just contacted him and his beta. So of course he would show up here. Of course he would appear now.
Chapter 0114
+25 BONUS
The alpha king with black hair and blue eyes stands behind me, wearing a black shirt and suit, his presence radiating a magnetic, effortlessly handsome aura. He clearly arrives in a hurry.
Alaric looks quite angry. When he stands next to Matthew, the nurses squeal quietly and shyly.
He was the most popular man in all of DarkWood – far surpassing Bedford.
It is indeed a very pleasing sight to behold. Two handsome men stand in the hospital corridor at the same time, not seeing eye to eye with each other.
“Bedford, on your feet!” Alaric orders the man on one knee before me. When Bedford doesn’t move, he adds, “NOW!”
But it’s clear that Alaric is the more handsome one. Matthew appears immature and somewhat frivolous in comparison to him.
Matthew Bedford looks at me for a moment longer, seeming to mull over his options of openly defying a direct order of his Alpha King or continuing his act of bullying me into accepting his proposal.
“…Alright! My King.”
